I've always wondered this. What exactly is the solution? Even if you end voter fraud, there is still the unfairness of more money = easier to win an election (ads, signs, hiring workers, TV time, SEO, etc), therefore you still end up with billionaires/trillionaires planting whomever they want into positions of power.
When you truly step-back and look at it all... whew we've got a lot of problems that need fixin'. I guess going for the biggest head of the beast (Central Bankers, Wall Street, Fiat Currency) would be a huge step in the right direction.
I think I saw a sci fi movie years ago where everyone had a small device at home where they could vote..not just on who to put in office but for everything...truly democratic...
You could weep at the amounts spent to put billionaires in office and then what the lobbyists spend. The whole process should be banned.
It's not who could do the best job..and no one should be able to get in saying they will do such and such and then do the opposite when they are in power. They all do it.
but is that even fair? Billionaires with leftist ideals who own media and social media apparatus spend all day and night brainwashing people into voting a certain way and being against certain candidates.
So a free and fair democracy in any true sense of the word is just not possible at this point because we are all so easily manipulated by external forces not even related to politics.

But that will always happen. People are easily swayed ..don't see how you could change that
By truly educating people instead of brainwashing them? Maybe.
my point exactly - and with tech advance and social media now 24/7 in our lives it's going to be nigh on impossible to solve.
